Hello Petros,
I know I lose a little at high rotations, but this should be because of the springs and cam of 1.3 original head.
I also have about 14kg bar in each cylinder.
I have good power at low and medium RPM, but I do not have high ... I think I have to put a more aggressive cam.
I have the original rallye 1.3 alluminium inlet, and the original air filter as well...

Fantastic, I always thought there was some modification needed. I may give that a go!, I'm struggling to find piston rings for my 1.3 engine and it had 123,000 miles on it.

The 1600 engine block is more reliable than the 1300cc, for trackdays and things like that.

But either way it must pull really good this way

My mechanic want me to do this but car is to original to do this to him even I whould love this kind of performance

Ih Petros

First I wanted to put an EcuMaster, and try to tune up to get the best power out of this engine with electronics. I have a loss of power in high revs, after 6000rpm, I think it is derived to over-compression with 8v head with springs and cam of origin makes valve fluctuation.

I saw your videos before you came here,allways nice to see a Rallye in action
But this one you posted is also very nice

Do you have any heating problems? I see you can run stints of 20min with no problems
When I did this to mine gasket blew, but mechanic told me it whould had blew in one monthe either way as it was original and engine was never open till now...it will be on road very soon now and on track next year

Well, I have no motor heating problems. I do not have oil radiator, and the trackdays in portugal in summer the temperatures are very high. I still have no problems, I have a metal joint between the block and the head, thinner.
The only warming problems I have, are tires ... and the white paint on the rims after the trackdays turns brown (burned)
I also have brake of origin (brembo max 247mm) and I use Textar pads and I do not have problems of fatigue even with origin rear axle.
Car this stock, and yes, during the day is 4x20min, and I always walk fast...
i use LiquiMoli 10w60 on the engine, and change que refrigerator liquid before every trackday.

I also didnt had any heating problems on my gauges, both engine and oil was high but not that high.In the end my car stopped on way home and in the end head was blown...
I explained more in newbie introductions, also you can find few videos from track day there.

Isnt it 6500 euros? He's tries it on on Carandclassic where he has it at 7500euros. But I guess by the time youve paid currency exchange costs it works out about the same in pounds..
Does look tip top condition though and a hell of a lot cheaper than the daft prices some dealers are asking. I'm sure I saw one somewhere at 11 grand!!
cheers
